Arbitration
Awards: |
Arbitrator Bowers; Grievant John Parks; Dept. of Health, 10/15/95. Arbitrator Bowers stated that the parties have had ample opportunity to agree upon explicit language which identifies those specific persons whose demise entitles employees to receive the benefit of bereavement leave. Further, there are no provisions either in the law or in the Agreement which identify or pertain to “in-law equivalents”. It is clear that the parent of a domestic partner, regardless of the sexual orientation of the employee, is not covered by Article 14 of the Agreement. Therefore, there was no violation of Articles 6 or 14. |

OCB #1502 |
Arbitrator David Pincus; Grievant Jason Puster; DR&C, 06/11/01. Arbitrator Pincus upheld an Adult Parole Authority (APA) rule allowing Parole Officers to work off-duty for local law enforcement only in unpaid positions or in duties that do not conflict with Parole Officer duties. The guidelines were found to be reasonably related to the orderly, efficient, and safe operation of the APA, and were not implemented arbitrarily or capriciously. |
